ACTION ALERT PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY! Bolivias Amazon Riches to Be Plundered for Oil By Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal http://www.rainforestportal.org/ December 17, 2008 TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=bolivia_rainforest President Morales must be encouraged to live up to his grand rhetoric, and end his government's hurried measures to decimate massive indigenous rainforest protected areas and their biodiversity and climate values, in a manner eerily reminiscent of the capitalistic system against which he rallies BRIEF BACKGROUND: Bolivia's Madidi National Park and Pilón Lajas Biosphere Reserve are communal lands containing some of the most biodiverse areas on earth. With the assent of President Evo Morales, the oil giant Petrobas and collaborators have begun an oil exploration assault that threatens not only these remarkable ecosystems, but also the culture and livelihood of the resident indigenous peoples. Mr. Morales must be encouraged to live up to his grand rhetoric, and end his government's hurried plans to decimate indigenous protected areas, local sustainable livelihoods and their rainforest lands' biodiversity and climate values.
